Public records, shown plainly.

Almost everything about a house in Los Angeles County is a matter of public record: the parcel it sits on, the footprint of the structure, the permits pulled on it. It's public, but it's scattered across agencies, each with its own portal, its own identifiers, and its own idea of what a street name looks like.

LAHomework collects those records and puts them on one page per home. That's the whole idea. We aren't appraising your house or telling you what it's worth. We're showing you what the county already says about it.

What we will and won't do

We show our work. Every value on a record page is labeled with where it came from. A parcel number from the county Assessor is marked as such. A city map-book reference is marked as a different thing, because it is a different thing.

We'd rather say "we don't know." When an address falls inside more than one parcel, which happens on roughly seven percent of addresses in the county, mostly condominiums where many separately-owned units share one footprint. Geometry alone can't tell us which unit is which, so we don't guess. We tell you it's ambiguous and how many candidates there were. A confident wrong answer is worse than an honest blank.

We don't publish anything about the people. No owner names, no contact details, no demographic data of any kind, and no records describing how a residence is used or who lives there. The line we hold is between researched and surveilled, and it sits at the property, not the resident.

We're not your agent. LAHomework isn't a brokerage and doesn't represent anyone in a transaction. Nothing here is legal, financial, or valuation advice. If a record matters to a decision you're making, confirm it with the agency that issued it.

Where the data comes from

County parcel and address records, and municipal building-footprint and permit data, refreshed on a schedule and dated on every page. Records lag reality. A permit finaled last week may not appear for months, and a parcel split can take longer. We publish the record's date so you can judge it.
